Product Information

Check out our basic guide to land drain which covers the two different types of land drain and how they work, where to use it, how to install it and how to make connections between land drainage pipes. Land drainage is available in coils in various lengths from JDP meaning they are flexible and easy to transport and handle. The wrap bridges the corrugations of the pipe, creating a much larger surface area for water absorption, to increase the efficiency of the system. The size of your lawn (or the area you would like to be drained) affects the size of pipe you will need. Clay’s main benefits are its durability and longevity, plus it has a good environmental profile from a raw material through manufacturing, installation, in-use to end of life.

The main characteristic of a perforated pipe is to take in water from the wet ground through the perforations and allow the ground to stay dry. Having a perforated pipe underneath your property will help drain excess water away from your home, leaving the area dry and avoiding costly problems like rot and water damage. If you choose a perforated pipe for your project you are likely looking to drain surface water from soil or grassy area.

After digging the French drain trench to the required width and size it is filled with graded stones – from fine shingle on the top to large rubble on the bottom. If a wall has been continually soaked by water pooling against the building then a French drain will also allow the water to evaporate from the wall and dry it out, during drier periods. To make the drain more effective you can use Geotextile Membrane along the wall and leading down into the drain to protect the wall from surface water by directing it down the wall and into the drain.

This article discusses the basic features and applications of perforated pipes used in construction. Of course, it is important to note that any and all perforated drain installations must be carried out by a professional. Perforated Pipes and Landscapes: A well designed garden landscape can transform your outdoor space, but it is important to protect your garden from changing weather conditions. Flexible drainage coils are also available in 100mm diameter, for areas such as playgrounds and small parks, and 160mm diameter for large open areas.The pipe should be surrounded by gravel in a trench where water moves through the ground, passes through the gaps in the gravel, and starts to fill the trench surrounding the pipe. Mostly, upward-facing perforation helps keep silt and debris from accumulating in the pipe during water collection. If the foundations of the building are very shallow then the French drain should be constructed at a minimum of 1 meter away from the building.
